The Love Story masquerade is a formal, ticketed event featuring a mingling gourmet meal designed by Hudson Valley chef Ric Orlando and prepared by New World Catering, enjoyed while a raucous show of roaming burlesque performers whet guests' appetite for romance and dessert. The Love Story is an immersive, theatrical experience for all six of the senses - vision, sound, scent, taste, touch and thou
ght. Ballroom dancing, intimate parlor performances and satirical pageantry invite lovers to come together in elaborate costumed dress to indulge in fantasies of the wild and whimsical variety. The gala is hosted by The Author, a mysterious, commanding mistress who has conjured this gathering as an experiment, and will summon couples at random to her balcony chamber throughout the evening to write their part in The Love Story, a tale in the making.
